v v l., Application filed September 28, 1911. Serial No. 651,734.

To all 'whom t may concern MA'rrHEw G. MARSH, citizens of the United and residents of East Eddington, in the county of Penobscot and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which the following is a specilication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to amusement dering designed to be worn by children and others for their amusement, and carrying for this purpose a pin-wheel which will be caused to revolve by the natural movement of the hand in walking.

rlhe object of the invention is further to rovide an attractive and noticeable device of this type which may be manufactured at such a low cost that it may be used for advertising purposes or cheaply sold to children for their amusement.

With these and other objects in view the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and finally ointed out in the appended claims, it being further understood that changes in the specific structure shown and described may be made within the scope of the claims, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this s ecication and in which like numerals of re erence indicate similar parts in the several views: Figure l, is a perspective view of the device in use. Fig. 2, is a l view` partly in elevation and partly in section of the said device. Fig. 3, is a plan view of the device. Fig. fl, is a plan view of the blank from which the pin-wheel member of the device is formed.

n the drawings, the device is illustrated as consisting primarily of a iinger ring which is indicated by the numeral l, and which may be plain or ornamental, as desired. At a point in its circumference, the ringis formed with an opening 2, which is preferably increased in diameter in the direction of the axis of the ring to form a splayed opening. A tubular shank 3, is fitted at one end into this splayed opening and vflanged therein, as indicated by the numeral per riding surface, and has its edge flanged downwardly.

The pin-wheel which is carried by the ring is formed from the blank 7, shown in Fig. 4:, ofthe drawings, and has a central pin opening 6, and the edge openings 5. This bla-nk is of rectangular form, primarily, and is indicated by the numeral 7, and is formed with slits 8, extending inwardly toward its center from each corner. These slits 8, vterminate short of the said central opening 6, of the blank, as shown in the said Fig. 4, and the portions between the slits are folded over to form four wings, in the manner shown in Figs. 1v, 2, and 3. A pin 9, is inserted through the pin openings 5', at .the corners of the wing forming portions of the blank and through the center opening 6,

and this pin is provided at its outer end with a head l0, and has its inner end flattened, as at 1l, to form a chisel edgedend at the inner end of the pin. The inner flattened head 11, is of a diameter slightly less than the inner diameter of the shank 3, as shown in Fig. 2.

In order to hold the pin in position within the tubular shank 3, this shank is filled with cement sealing wax or other like substance, into which while in a plastic condition the flattened chisel edged end 11, is forced. When the substance hardens, the pin is firmly secured in position. The plastic substance in effect forms a bushing when solidified. It will be readily understood that the pin-wheel thus formed is mounted for revolution upon the pin 9, and that when the ring is worn, the natural movement of the hand will cause the pin-wheel to revolve.

It will of course be understood that the pin-wheel itself may be made of any suitable material, such for example as Celluloid, sheet metal, or the like, and that the diiferent vanes of the wheel may be differently colored or coated with an irridescent substance so as to produce a dazzling eii'ect as the wheel revolves.

From the foregoing it will be understood that the device will afford considera-ble amusement and that it may be manufactured at a nominal cost.

Having thus described our said invention, what we claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:

1. The combination with a finger ring having a splayed4 opening, of a tubular shank having one end anged 'into said splayed opening the outer end being ared to provide a flat riding surface having a downwardly anged edge, a pin having a -head and held Within thebore of said shank,

and a pin wheel upon said pin and revolving upon said flat ridlng surface, as and in the manner set forth.

2. The combination with a finger ring having a splayed opening, of a tubular shank having one end anged into said splayed opening the outer end of said shank being flared outward to provide a Hat riding surface ending in a downwardly flanged edge, a cement mixture within said shank 15 bore, a pin having a head and chiseled end forced into said cement while plastic, and a. pin-wheel held upon said pin and revolving upon saidY Hat riding surface, as and in the manner set forth. 20

In testimony whereof, We affix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
